Computer Privacy and Safety

You may not want others who may have access to this computer to know that you have been visiting the court website. We are providing you with some information about how to remove information about your visit.

1) The most important area to clear is the web history in your browser, which lists the sites you have visited. Clearing Your Browser History is very easy and should be done every time you go online for sensitive information. Deleting this history will not hurt your computer in any way, but someone using your computer may be able to tell that the history has been cleared. If someone asks you why you 'cleared the history', you can tell him/her that you did it to make the computer run better because these files take up space.

2) Some websites put little programs on your computer to save information like your username and password so you don't have to login every time you use the site. These programs are called "cookies." We use a cookie to see what pages people use the most. No information about you or our site is in our cookie. No one using your computer can find out from this cookie that you have been to our site, and what information you looked at. To learn how to delete cookies, See Clear Cache and Delete Cookies below.

To make sure there are no 'leftovers' on your computer, shut down or restart your computer when you are done. Please contact us if you need help with these instructions.
